I defrosted some venison yesterday and I'm going to make a pretty typical stew (onions, carrots, potatoes, etc). I decided I wanted to add a little smokiness to the flavor so I diced up the venison, put it on a pan and seasoned with some salt and pepper. On to the weber at a low temp as I'm not really trying to cook the meat, just add some smoke to it. Probably go an hour at the most, then I'll sear the meat, deglaze the pan and pop the Dutch oven in the oven for a few hours.
Anyone else do this? If so, how'd it turn out?
I do this with my pork for chili verde, but I've never done it for a classic meat and potato stew. Hoping the smoke doesn't over power everything.
